PSYCHIATRY IN CRISIS:

AT THE CROSSROADS OF SOCIAL SCIENCES, THE HUMANITIES, 

AND NEUROSCIENCE

 

by VINCENZO DI NICOLA and DROZDSTOJ STOYANOV 

(Cham, Switzerland: Springer Nature, 2021)

 

And here is our second advance review and blurb:

 

“Psychiatry in Crisis: At the Crossroads of Social Science, The Humanities, and Neuroscience is a pioneering search for the discovery and rediscovery of psychiatry’s roots. By presenting an analysis of the current capturing of psychiatry by its tributary sub-fields, Di Nicola and Stoyanov offer philosophical options including ontology. This, in my opinion, is of great hope for a new beginning for psychiatrists of different clinical and theoretical orientations and for the well-being of our patients. Drawing on luminaries of philosophy, like Wittgenstein, Althusser, and Badiou, the authors analyze options for the future of psychiatry as a holistic constructive field. This book is a must read for all of us if the field is to develop and flourish.”
